BREAKING: Howard Stern may replace Jimmy Fallon as host of "Late Night"

[Ving]

No possible way that is happening, that would require actual work. Only Sirius is stupid enough to let him phone it in for 119 shows a year.

[quitefrankly]

maybe he can get robin to be his ed mcmahon or better yet stutterin john

[Jon Hein is God]

This just goes to show how stupid these network execs are. They THINK Stern is "cool". Stern hasn't been "cool" in 10 years. If this is true, and if this happens, the show will suck and NO ONE will watch it.

But, the wig doesn't care, he sold out years ago. This is just one more notch on the belt of an egotistical, narcissistic asshole and one more attempt to get all the marbles.

On the one hand, I can't imagine an NBC exec signing off on this idea. (The guy who runs NBC Entertainment is a gay dude who's hip. Not Howard's type -- or maybe he is.).

On the other hand, it was announced today that Fox's new sports network was giving Regis Philbin, age 81, his own daily talk show.

A late-night hosting job requires....

1) to be at work at least 7-8 hours before the show.

2) at least 2 hours after the show.

3) 1 hour for the show.

4) 5 days a week. none of this 4-day a week bullshit.

wouldn't he have to stay up past his bedtime?

only if The Roots made to stay on... would love to see them beat the shit out of Big Bird

There's some awesome ironic fuckery in this article.

112 employee Stasi writes: "I never figured it was really about that for Stern — it was about creating a Howard that was palatable for TV."

Then right under that line is this pic:



Yes. "Palatable".



Then they get Beefus to chime in with this beaut: "People are now seeing him for who he really is.”

They sure are!

They tape at 5 pm, sometimes 3 or 4 pm.

But seriously. What's going on here?

Howard ought to know he's retirement age and too old to do a late-night show.

Is this along the lines of the plastic surgery deal? He wants to feel young again.

Not to mention NBC signed Howard for the AGT gig.

But even network suit-moronity has its limits, right?



I could actually see them giving it to a chick, trying to "shake things up".

3) 1 hour for the show.

And we're talking about a guy who can't make it to dessert.

He would rather die than disappear. He acts like a monastic hermit, but he's only that after he gets his injection of power, fame, and marbles.

He would completely bug-ass out if he was ever without an audience, a bully pulpit, a marble-dispenser, and the perks of being famous.

Now on top of all this factor in what's waiting for him when he retires: 24/7 Beefus.

Beth, the 40 year old hot younger wife...somehow I don't see being 40 going together with hot and younger.

[blottomsup]

Sounds as though Stern and Buchwald recognize that Stern has signed his last radio and AGT contracts. Must...find...new...gig...

[Spazzmatazz]

Yeah, they can roll the cackling bitch onstage in a hospital bed with a urine bag hanging on the side.

[Shithead]

Nope....No one wants to see grandpa with his silly wig and bad dentures on network tv...Plus, his demo now is gay men and house frows, not exactly the coveted demo

Midday wasteland though Wiggy would thrive there

Beth Ostrosky Stern, told The Post’s Sean Daly that, “We were in a hotel and all these little kids recognize him now as the judge from ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Usually it’s their dads. But now it is screaming little kids. People are now seeing him for who he really is.”

As absurd as it sounds, I think she may be right. 90's Stern was the fake, bullshit guy. This was the real Howard all along, now we can lay back and be pissed on as he blows my lifetime subscription money.

Might be the most ridiculous story ever written!
Linda the Retard!

She sounds like a retard on her twitter feed. Some of the most pompous, arrogant nonsense I've ever read. She seems like the female version of Mark Harris.
